COFAs TOOLKIT
Law Society's Risk and ComplianceService

BECAUSE EVERY LAWFIRM MUST SHORTLY HAVE A COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION (COFA)....YOU NEED THIS NEW TOOLKIT FROM THE LAW SOCIETY, WITH ACCOMPANYING CD-ROM
An appreciation by Phillip TaylorMBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond GreenChambersYes, the time is fast approaching. From January 2013, not only must every law firm have an authorised compliance officer for legal practice (COLP), but additionally, a compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA).
If you're a practitioner, particularly in a firm, you will certainly have compelling reasons to acquire this extremely useful book, one of the Law Society's highly regarded and eminently practical 'toolkits' (part of the Law Society's risk and compliance service).
Each of these helpful 'toolkits', is designed to help practitioners cope with the new regulatory environment introduced under the OFR (outcomes-focused regulation) implemented by the SRA, which insists that all law firms large or small must assign top priority to risk management in line with the demands of the Legal Services Act 2007.
Produced in handy paperback format with accompanying CD, each 'toolkit' contains clear and practical advice that has emerged following this legislation.
As all firms will be directly affected, (or possibly indirectly) you might decide to acquire all three toolkits, namely the 'Anti-Bribery Toolkit'... 'the COFAs Toolkit'... and the 'COLPs Toolkit' -- all in handy, paperback format. For purposes of this review, we are focusing here on 'COFAs Toolkit'.
Whether you are appointed as the firm's COFA, or perhaps the partner in charge of overseeing COFA compliance activities in line with general risk management procedures, you'll find this COFAs Toolkit' invaluable in helping you implement and supervise systems for complying with the SRA's (Solicitors Regulation Authority) Accounts Rules.
Note that, in being charged with this responsibility, the COFA is regarded as having a more focused role than a COLP and is expected to record all compliance failures and report them back to the SRA as soon as practicable. This toolkit is therefore designed to provide the practical and clearly structured advice and assistance needed for the COFA role.
As the expert authors point out, (both are from Deloittes with specialist law-based experience) the book highlights the main regulatory requirements relevant to COFAs. It elaborates on their responsibilities, including reporting requirements, and offers the relevant guidance as well as the relevant range of practical tools, i.e. documents and forms.
Further guidance, together with template documents, can be easily accessed from the CD-ROM and adapted to specific requirements.
Like its companion volumes, this book -- now available from The Law Society -- is distinguished for its clarity ready adaptability to the needs of busy practitioners.
The publication date is stated as at April 2012.

The Civil Partnerships Bill (2008) was presented to the Cabinet on 24 June 2009. It is expected to complete the parliamentary process by mid 2010 at the latest.
Although most LGBT advocacy groups cautiously welcomed the Government's legislation, there have been criticisms of the proposals. One major criticism states that the legislation effectively enshrines discrimination in law insofar as separate contractual arrangements with greater privileges will continue to exist for opposite-sex marriages concurrent to lesser arrangements for those wishing to take out Civil Partnerships. In particular, the denial of adoption rights to couples with a Civil Partnership has been cited as particularly discriminatory.
The bill will represent the culmination of detailed work between the parties of the governing coalition. With the entering into government of the Green Party with Fianna Fáil & the Progressive Democrats in June 2007, civil partnership legislation moved up the political agenda. On July 16, 2007, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said that "we will legislate for Civil Partnerships at the earliest possible date in the lifetime of this Government." Following a cabinet meeting on 30 October 2007, the government said it would introduce legislation by the end of March 2008 and expects the bill to pass within a year of that. As of the end of April, no legislation had been presented by the cabinet, though many speculated that this was due to the resignation of Bertie Ahern as Taoiseach over the same period.
The most recent survey, carried out in 2008, showed that 84% of Irish people supported civil marriage or civil partnerships for same-sex couples, with 58% (up from 51%) supporting full marriage rights in registry offices. The number who believe same-sex couples should only be allowed to have civil partnerships fell in the same period, from 33% to 26%

Law society

A law society in current and former Commonwealth jurisdictions was historically an association of solicitors (effectively the trade organisation for solicitors) with a regulatory role that included the right to supervise the training, qualifications and conduct of lawyers/solicitors. Where there is a distinction between barristers and solicitors, solicitors were regulated by the law societies and barristers by a separate Bar Council.

Much has changed for law societies in recent years, with governments in Australia, New Zealand, England and Wales, and now Scotland (2010) creating government sponsored regulators for lawyers (both barristers and solicitors), leaving to law societies the role of advocacy on behalf of their members.

In Canada, law societies (or barreau, in Quebec) continue to have statutory responsibility for regulation of the legal profession in the public interest, leaving advocacy to the Canadian Bar Association.

In the United States, unified bar associations are somewhat similar to Law Societies; however, there are differences between law societies and the general American phenomenon of bar associations. Usually a bar association is an association of lawyers; lawyers may or may not join as they wish. Regulation of American lawyers usually takes places through the courts, which decide who gets admitted as a lawyer, and also decide discipline cases. Law societies are often created by legislation and play (or played) significant direct roles in the training, licensing and disciplining of lawyers. The conflict or roles between being a regulator and a trade association is seen by many as giving rise to the recent move to government sponsored regulators.

Chris Busby: Nuclear Test Veterans Betrayal

Published on Mar 19, 2013 by drdrwoland on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll11ZXpbDKg&feature=em-uploademail
I changed the audio song he had at the end so I could add creative commons "remix this video" button. New audio courtesy of Chopin a la jazz - Petko&ThDi and RedButtonStudio on Youtube.
Prof Busby talks about the Test veterans radiation Pensions Appeals Tribunals cases. He explains how the veterans have been betrayed by their solicitors through a complex series of changes in the nature of the hearings and the sudden withdrawal of one solicitor firm Rosenblatts and its curious replacement by another, Hogan Lovells, culminating in the removal of all the critical evidence from the cases and the exclusion of Busby's evidence collected over three years, without the knowledge of...

One Ship, Two Ships, Our Ship, Whose Ship? (David Conlin)

One Ship, Two Ships, Our Ship, Whose Ship? An Overview of Submerged Cultural Resources Law for NPS Archeologists
David Conlin, Chief, NPS Submerged Resources Center
The NPS has more than 140 park units with significant water resources totaling more than 3.5 million acres of submerged lands. On, near, and under these park bottomlands lie thousands of shipwrecks, aircraft, submerged terrestrial sites, paleo-landscapes and other cultural resources. NPS managers and archeologists have been grappling for decades with a patchwork of laws and policies that apply to these sites and trying to determine which ones to apply to fulfill legal requirements, and to meet the NPS mission to preserve these resources unimpaired. Conlin gives an overview of laws and policies pertaining to these cultural reso...

www.ukcolumn.org BRIAN GERRISH (an EX-British Royal NavyOfficer)TALKS ABOUT THERE BEING COLLUSION WITH CORRUPT JUDGES, POLICE, HOUSING AND COUNCIL OFFICIALS SOLICITORS BARRISTERS AGAINST THEIR INNOCENT VICTIMS ETC. BBC NEWSONLINE : Its critics say it is a secret networking organisation at the heart of the establishment, with a hidden agenda and influence.
More than 20,000 people - identified as the next generation of leaders - have attended its courses, but if you are not one of them, you have probably never heard of it.
It is called Common Purpose and prominent supporters include BBC business editor Robert Peston, AssistantDeputy CommissionerCressida Dick of the Metropolitan Police and numerous top public sector officials.
It's a not-for-profit organisation which organises training and networking events for high-fliers.
Connections
Its website says: "Common Purpose gives leaders the inspiration, the knowledge and the connections they need to produce real change - in their workplaces and in their communities."
According to one Common Purpose "graduate" who spoke to the BBC, Common Purpose's activities seem innocent enough: delegates attend a week-long residential course, where the emphasis is on personal development and making new contacts.
She said delegates were encouraged to identify their strengths and weaknesses and were taken on outings to a psychiatric hospital, a prison, a local tenants' association and the City.
But former naval officer BrianGerrish, who leads a campaign against Common Purpose, says: "It's a secret society for careerists. The key point is that the networking is done out of sight of the general public. "If you actually look at the documented evidence as to what Common Purpose is doing, they are clearly not just a training provider. They are operating a highly political agenda, which is to create new chosen leaders in society."
The conspiracy theorists think Common Purpose is trying take over the world. They believe it is shaping people to work to its hidden agenda of promoting a European super-state, forcing diversity on British society, and imposing political correctness. Should publically-funded institutions like the police, local authorities and the BBC pay money to a charity to host training courses which are essentially networking opportunities for staff?Some of the courses cost as much as £5,750.
A Freedom of Information request by Conservative MPPhilip Davies uncovered the fact that the Department for Work and Pensions had spent £238,000 sending its people on Common Purpose courses between 2002 and 2007. And while there is no evidence that Common Purpose has anything to hide, it is not the most open organisation.
Its meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which means everything that is said in them is unattributable.
However Common Purpose trustee Andrew Cubie told BBC Radio 5 Live that many organisations chose to hold meetings in this way: "It means that people are very frank. They talk about their failures more than their successes. You get a very good learning process.
"This is about learning, it is not about a networking or membership organisation."But although anyone can apply to go on a Common Purpose course, attendees are mainly graduate professionals - and those who are not assessed as having future leader potential will not be accepted.

I changed the audio song he had at the end so I could add creative commons "remix this video" button. New audio courtesy of Chopin a la jazz - Petko&ThDi and RedButtonStudio on Youtube.
Prof Busby talks about the Test veterans radiation Pensions Appeals Tribunals cases. He explains how the veterans have been betrayed by their solicitors through a complex series of changes in the nature of the hearings and the sudden withdrawal of one solicitor firm Rosenblatts and its curious replacement by another, Hogan Lovells, culminating in the removal of all the critical evidence from the cases and the exclusion of Busby's evidence collected over three years, without the knowledge of the individual litigants. Prof Busby explains how secret documents, released under Freedom of Information requests and Directions by the Judge, HughStubbs, point to Uranium, the main component of the bombs, as the major cause of the health effects in the veterans and their children and grandchildren. He has decided to put all the information from his many reports, including information obtained from redacted secret sources, on the internet. This information was excluded by the new solicitors to the case, (Hogan Lovells International),which was held in February 2013. Reports will be placed on the internet on the sites THE LOWLEVEL RADIATION CAMPAIGN http://www.llrc.org/ and http://www.greenaudit.org on http://www.greenaudit.org/papers/

Prof Busby talks about the Test veterans radiation Pensions Appeals Tribunals cases. He explains how the veterans have been betrayed by their solicitors through a complex series of changes in the nature of the hearings and the sudden withdrawal of one solicitor firm Rosenblatts and its curious replacement by another, Hogan Lovells, culminating in the removal of all the critical evidence from the cases and the exclusion of Busby's evidence collected over three years, without the knowledge of the individual litigants. Prof Busby explains how secret documents, released under Freedom of Information requests and Directions by the Judge, HughStubbs, point to Uranium, the main component of the bombs, as the major cause of the health effects in the veterans and their children and grandchildren. He has decided to put all the information from his many reports, including information obtained from redacted secret sources, on the internet. This information was excluded by the new solicitors to the case, (Hogan Lovells International),which was held in February 2013. Reports will be placed on the internet on the sites THE LOWLEVEL RADIATION CAMPAIGN http://www.llrc.org/ and http://www.greenaudit.org on http://www.greenaudit.org/papers/

One Ship, Two Ships, Our Ship, Whose Ship? An Overview of Submerged Cultural Resources Law for NPS Archeologists
David Conlin, Chief, NPS Submerged Resources Center
The NPS has more than 140 park units with significant water resources totaling more than 3.5 million acres of submerged lands. On, near, and under these park bottomlands lie thousands of shipwrecks, aircraft, submerged terrestrial sites, paleo-landscapes and other cultural resources. NPS managers and archeologists have been grappling for decades with a patchwork of laws and policies that apply to these sites and trying to determine which ones to apply to fulfill legal requirements, and to meet the NPS mission to preserve these resources unimpaired. Conlin gives an overview of laws and policies pertaining to these cultural resources.

COFAs Toolkit

BOOK REVIEW
COFAs TOOLKIT
Law Society's Risk and ComplianceService
By Jeremy Black and Florence Perret du Cray
Law Society Publishing
ISBN: 978 1 907 698 47 7
www.lawsociety.org.uk
BECAUSE EVERY LAWFIRM MUST SHORTLY HAVE A COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION (COFA)....YOU NEED THIS NEW TOOLKIT FROM THE LAW SOCIETY, WITH ACCOMPANYING CD-ROM
An appreciation by Phillip TaylorMBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond GreenChambersYes, the time is fast approaching. From January 2013, not only must every law firm have an authorised compliance officer for legal practice (COLP), but additionally, a compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA).
If you're a practitioner, particularly in a firm, you will certainly have compelling reasons to acquire this extremely useful book, one of the Law Society's highly regarded and eminently practical 'toolkits' (part of the Law Society's risk and compliance service).
Each of these helpful 'toolkits', is designed to help practitioners cope with the new regulatory environment introduced under the OFR (outcomes-focused regulation) implemented by the SRA, which insists that all law firms large or small must assign top priority to risk management in line with the demands of the Legal Services Act 2007.
Produced in handy paperback format with accompanying CD, each 'toolkit' contains clear and practical advice that has emerged following this legislation.
As all firms will be directly affected, (or possibly indirectly) you might decide to acquire all three toolkits, namely the 'Anti-Bribery Toolkit'... 'the COFAs Toolkit'... and the 'COLPs Toolkit' -- all in handy, paperback format. For purposes of this review, we are focusing here on 'COFAs Toolkit'.
Whether you are appointed as the firm's COFA, or perhaps the partner in charge of overseeing COFA compliance activities in line with general risk management procedures, you'll find this COFAs Toolkit' invaluable in helping you implement and supervise systems for complying with the SRA's (Solicitors Regulation Authority) Accounts Rules.
Note that, in being charged with this responsibility, the COFA is regarded as having a more focused role than a COLP and is expected to record all compliance failures and report them back to the SRA as soon as practicable. This toolkit is therefore designed to provide the practical and clearly structured advice and assistance needed for the COFA role.
As the expert authors point out, (both are from Deloittes with specialist law-based experience) the book highlights the main regulatory requirements relevant to COFAs. It elaborates on their responsibilities, including reporting requirements, and offers the relevant guidance as well as the relevant range of practical tools, i.e. documents and forms.
Further guidance, together with template documents, can be easily accessed from the CD-ROM and adapted to specific requirements.
Like its companion volumes, this book -- now available from The Law Society -- is distinguished for its clarity ready adaptability to the needs of busy practitioners.
The publication date is stated as at April 2012.

New Irish same sex marriage legislation TV3 Video

The Civil Partnerships Bill (2008) was presented to the Cabinet on 24 June 2009. It is expected to complete the parliamentary process by mid 2010 at the latest.
Although most LGBT advocacy groups cautiously welcomed the Government's legislation, there have been criticisms of the proposals. One major criticism states that the legislation effectively enshrines discrimination in law insofar as separate contractual arrangements with greater privileges will continue to exist for opposite-sex marriages concurrent to lesser arrangements for those wishing to take out Civil Partnerships. In particular, the denial of adoption rights to couples with a Civil Partnership has been cited as particularly discriminatory.
The bill will represent the culmination of detailed work between the parties of the governing coalition. With the entering into government of the Green Party with Fianna Fáil & the Progressive Democrats in June 2007, civil partnership legislation moved up the political agenda. On July 16, 2007, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said that "we will legislate for Civil Partnerships at the earliest possible date in the lifetime of this Government." Following a cabinet meeting on 30 October 2007, the government said it would introduce legislation by the end of March 2008 and expects the bill to pass within a year of that. As of the end of April, no legislation had been presented by the cabinet, though many speculated that this was due to the resignation of Bertie Ahern as Taoiseach over the same period.
The most recent survey, carried out in 2008, showed that 84% of Irish people supported civil marriage or civil partnerships for same-sex couples, with 58% (up from 51%) supporting full marriage rights in registry offices. The number who believe same-sex couples should only be allowed to have civil partnerships fell in the same period, from 33% to 26%

Brian Gerrish Common Purpose New World Order Fifth Column 2008

Also see www.bentlawyersandcops.com archive.is/www.exposedpolice.com www.ipcc.gov.uk www.policestate.co.uk www.britishconstitutiongroup.com
www.ukcolumn.org BRIAN GERRISH (an EX-British Royal NavyOfficer)TALKS ABOUT THERE BEING COLLUSION WITH CORRUPT JUDGES, POLICE, HOUSING AND COUNCIL OFFICIALS SOLICITORS BARRISTERS AGAINST THEIR INNOCENT VICTIMS ETC. BBC NEWSONLINE : Its critics say it is a secret networking organisation at the heart of the establishment, with a hidden agenda and influence.
More than 20,000 people - identified as the next generation of leaders - have attended its courses, but if you are not one of them, you have probably never heard of it.
It is called Common Purpose and prominent supporters include BBC business editor Robert Peston, AssistantDeputy CommissionerCressida Dick of the Metropolitan Police and numerous top public sector officials.
It's a not-for-profit organisation which organises training and networking events for high-fliers.
Connections
Its website says: "Common Purpose gives leaders the inspiration, the knowledge and the connections they need to produce real change - in their workplaces and in their communities."
According to one Common Purpose "graduate" who spoke to the BBC, Common Purpose's activities seem innocent enough: delegates attend a week-long residential course, where the emphasis is on personal development and making new contacts.
She said delegates were encouraged to identify their strengths and weaknesses and were taken on outings to a psychiatric hospital, a prison, a local tenants' association and the City.
But former naval officer BrianGerrish, who leads a campaign against Common Purpose, says: "It's a secret society for careerists. The key point is that the networking is done out of sight of the general public. "If you actually look at the documented evidence as to what Common Purpose is doing, they are clearly not just a training provider. They are operating a highly political agenda, which is to create new chosen leaders in society."
The conspiracy theorists think Common Purpose is trying take over the world. They believe it is shaping people to work to its hidden agenda of promoting a European super-state, forcing diversity on British society, and imposing political correctness. Should publically-funded institutions like the police, local authorities and the BBC pay money to a charity to host training courses which are essentially networking opportunities for staff?Some of the courses cost as much as £5,750.
A Freedom of Information request by Conservative MPPhilip Davies uncovered the fact that the Department for Work and Pensions had spent £238,000 sending its people on Common Purpose courses between 2002 and 2007. And while there is no evidence that Common Purpose has anything to hide, it is not the most open organisation.
Its meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which means everything that is said in them is unattributable.
However Common Purpose trustee Andrew Cubie told BBC Radio 5 Live that many organisations chose to hold meetings in this way: "It means that people are very frank. They talk about their failures more than their successes. You get a very good learning process.
"This is about learning, it is not about a networking or membership organisation."But although anyone can apply to go on a Common Purpose course, attendees are mainly graduate professionals - and those who are not assessed as having future leader potential will not be accepted.

S4M-14089 Christina McKelvie: Extra Spending on Home of NuclearSubmarines—That the Parliament notes with concern the announcement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that £500 million will be spent on ensuring the continuation of HM Naval Base Clyde at Faslane as a nuclear submarine base for the next generation of Trident nuclear weapons; understands that this announcement comes before the UK Parliament has made a decision on this next generation of nuclear weapons; considers that money such as this would be far better spent on supporting many in society including people who are sick or disabled, young people and pensioners in constituencies such as Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, where those in vulnerable positions have been so negatively affected by welfare reforms that have been continued by the current UK Government and the previous UK coalition administration; believes that this continued move toward a next generation of nuclear weapons is at odds with the beliefs of the majority of the Scottish population and elected members, and hopes that sense can be seen that will result in investment in people instead of these weapons of mass destruction.
